I am considering buying an Xbox One S for primarily the UHD blu-ray drive. I have a PC and PS4, so I doubt I'll be gaming on it too much other than maybe the odd exclusives (which many will be coming to PC now anyways). So the main value of it would be the media playback. I'm a blu-ray collector and am interested in getting into UHD physical media.
It is this 4K DI that has been used here for this Ultra HD Blu-ray. The film is presented with a 3840 x 2160p resolution and in a widescreen 2.40:1 aspect ratio, the disc uses 10-bit video depth, a Wider Colour Gamut (WCG) and High Dynamic Range (HDR), and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec.

Some players have better tone mapping. Some have analog outs that best standard AVR DAC performance. I imagine the gaps will disappear with time, especially with higher end Televisions. According to facts the more expensive UHD blu ray players are closer to the "reference playback" spec. Just like displays themselves.

The girl on fire is given as tribute to the Ultra HD Blu-ray games with a strong and generally satisfying HEVC H.265 encode in HDR10. Although the picture quality doesn't quite compare to other releases or offer a night and day difference over its Blu-ray counterpart from a few years ago, the 4K video nonetheless boasts a nice upgrade with plenty of visible improvements. The bitrate of a stream/download is lower than that of a 4K UHD Blu-ray. Of course, it is possible to create a download with a bitrate that matches a disc (66GB or 100GB in the case of 4K UHD) but distributors tend not to because 100GB is a lot to download and for many would take a long time and take up excessive disc space. With 4K Blu-ray discs, the player always delivers the same large data bandwidths for a filmβs picture quality regardless of your broadband infrastructure. 3. Consistency. (Image credit: Future) If you play a film on Blu-ray or 4K Blu-ray, you always get EXACTLY the same experience. The amounts of data stored on the disc never change from playWhile your Blu-ray player may output 4:4:4 signal for 4K24 content, the discs themselves are encoded in 4:2:0. π 4K discs having WCG and HDR often makes a big difference over standard blu-rays, even for 2K upscale digital content. I assume this is what you were thinking of.
The 4K UHD Blu-ray and 1080p SDR Blu-ray: For reasons I can't seem to figure, instead of carrying over the same great Atmos mix, the 4K UHD Blu-ray and 1080p Blu-ray is given an impressive in its own right DTS-HD MA 7.1 mix. Overall this is a great track mimicking the best aspects of the Atmos track - but it feels a bit more cramped.
